the system volume folder is a system folder that i belive is always in use, you shouldnt be able to access it as it contains infomation about how the drive is setup and the partition and such, messing with it would be a bad idea

you hsouldnt have been able to view anything in there before >.>


removing system restore is NEVER a good idea, as it is probally one of windows better features that will help you if you do manage to fux sumthing up, id suggest leaving it.

You need to add yourself as a user in the System Volume Information. Look here on how to do.

If you need to remove all previous restore points, simply turn of System Restore, then turn it back on.

Right click on My Computer, choose properties. Click on the System Restore tab. There should be a box that says "Disable System Restore". Check that, then accept any warning messages that pop up. Restart, then re-enable System restore. All previous restore points will be deleted.
